Striped Mittens

The yarn is just leftovers from other projects. The pattern is from Ann Budd's "Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns." The deadline for this campaign is March 1, so I might try to knock out another pair before then. They're pretty quick and easy, and it's fun to experiment with various color combos.

Thanks, Lynette! The deadline for the campaign is Monday, and I don't know when I'll be able to get to the post office to mail them. *sigh* Maybe I'll just hang onto them and send them with the next campaign.

Our church's prayer shawl ministry is running low on supplies, so I bought some bulky yarn to make two more. I finished one last week and am working on the second one. Here's the first, a gray and yellow one.

Gray and yellow is such a great color combo. Naturally, Piglet had to jump on it as soon as I laid it out to take a photo. She takes quality control very seriously.

As soon as I finish the second one, I'll post a photo. I'm about at the halfway point now.

A friend I hadn't seen in a while went with me to Yarn Con 2018 this past weekend. It was great to catch up with her while looking at all the gorgeous yarn. I don't have much else to say except that, as usual, there were a lot of great vendors and I wish I could have spent a LOT more money in their booths. In the end, I only bought this lovely skein. I have no idea what I'm going to make with it so it will go into the stash for the moment.

I'm working on a top-secret project that I can't discuss right now but as soon as I've passed the gift along to the recipient, I will surely post a photo of it.

As mentioned in my last post way back in April, I decided to use up a lot of leftover sock yarn in my stash. It took 2 months but I finally used all of it. I managed to get 8 baby hats out of it.

I'm very pleased with the results, and I am set for baby showers for the foreseeable future.

My next project is going to be a triangle shawl for my stepmother. I'm using Knit Picks Stroll sock yarn, one gradient and the other kettle dyed.

The shawl is coming along very nicely so far. I love how the colors look together..

My dad died recently and my stepmother is having a really hard time because she was very dependent on him, and I want to make something cheerful for her. Also, she's cold all the time, so a shawl will come in handy.
